What we can tell you
The closed-back sibling of the same gaming headset, and the more practical of the two for a shared room, since a closed cup keeps most of the sound in. A detachable boom microphone, wired, no cancellation. If you were weighing the open model against this one, the room you sit in decides it rather than anything on the specification sheet.
What the specifications favour
- Closed-back, so it leaks far less than the open model in the same line
- A detachable boom microphone
- The recorded price was under the list figure
What to check before you buy
- No active noise cancellation
- Almost no specification is published
- Wired only
